THE MESSAGE

This blog is dedicated to vinyl collectors, music freaks and artists to promote their mostly! limited releases. My aim is to give you and yours "a platform to protect the art form".

Over the last couple of years the hip-hop industrie struggled particularly on the vinyl market. One reason is doubtless the development in new technologies such as CD/DVD and the download media which is available on the internet.

To prevent missunderstanding me as a vinyl nerd prefers records from 7 to 12 inch but I don't adjudge people who prefer modern multimedia. Far from it modern multimedia offer chances for unsigned artists to bring their music to the people worldwide without a big financial background. Unfortunately downloading from the internet has also negative aspects. Illegal free downloading kills the music industrie and gives uninvolved people the chance to bootleg music in a bad quality. In both cases the original artists financially miss out.

So if you come across a vinyl record here you really need, make you you dig it or think about what Wayne Gretzky said: "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take"

The Rulez:

- I only post releases to share information to people who are really interested to buy them as originals!- I will never share full mp3 rips for downloading unless the orginal artist asks for it in an official comment!- I will announce snippets with the acceptence of the artist or the label or if they're officially available!

The Offer:

If you are interested as an artist or record label to announce your product on this blog for advertisement please post a comment with your contact information and I get back to you to ask for:- the history- pictures of you and/or your product- links to your web/product/order detailsIf you find your product on this blog and raise any objections or have further details please let me know.

The End:

Please enjoy the record blog and participate with your knowledge. All input and comments are much appreciated. Keep Hip-Hop Vinyl alive... The Hip-Hop Culture Lives, We're Hip-Hop! [posting since May 2010]
